Seriously though this winter is hanging on far too long! Snowed a dusting last night, further north where I used to live for 5 inches!

By the way do you happen to have Amazon prime?
All or nothing just came out with a season of Michigan Wolverines. Super interesting I think you'd like!

In other great news I thought I'd share here as well, Chevrolet Nationals invited my Monte to be apart of the 20 years of the LS engine display! Pretty neat honor to have a Monte in there!

Good morning guys. We close on the new house Friday! Over the weekend we got a ton of packing done and I got a lot of work done to our current place too. The weather was actually pretty decent both days.

Yeah I do remember that. I mean, who cares, I don't think he's been around here in a while. I don't believe he was very involved in the Blog but he had to call you out. Like, really? Everyone's offended by every little thing, everyone feels necessary to put their .02 into everyone's business to make themselves feel good. Not like you were on Channel 5 news, it's a hobby. And I also share that interest in meteorology and following the weather myself.

Good morning guys.

Wow, so we had some heavy lake effect snow in the area late yesterday. We got a bit at home but nothing that stuck to the ground. This morning, at home, there's absolutely no snow on the ground. I'm halfway to work and then, boom, all of a sudden there's a thick blanket of snow everywhere... a nice swath through SE MI is reporting 3-5" of snow.

We're suppose to gradually warm up this week, up to 70 degrees Thursday! We're suppose to get 0.5" of rain Wed/Thurs and then possibly 2.0"+ this weekend.

First car show of the year was this past weekend. Once again, awarded 2nd place. I have no idea in what category I was awarded, but whatever.... It's a charity fundraiser for the local Lion's Club, so it's kinda like an "everybody gets a trophy" type of show.... I just know I'm tired of cleaning it for a while....lol


I like the venue, so I'll keep putting it in there as long as I still own it... I thought about putting a FOR SALE sign in it just to see if there would be any takers.

For Matt congratulations on getting the new Home.

Good morning guys, going up to 72 degrees today! Warm front will be hovering right over us for the next few days and will make for some funky weather. We're on the warm side but just 50 miles North of us could be 20+ degrees cooler; they currently have winter storm watches in place for ice/snow this weekend.

Congratulations on awarding, car looks great! As of right now, my first "event" I have scheduled is the Michigan Monte Carlo Club Spring Meet on May 19. My first "show" might not be til June but we'll see how it goes with moving/getting situated in the new house and selling our current home these next few months.
